(And died 375 years ago as I calculate.) Prince Charles was asked to give the Annual Shakespeare lecture in Stratford this year and complained of the poor level of English education and lack of knowledge of Shakespeare. Two years ago, now, things were alive with excitment at the discovery of the Rose, one of Shakespeare's theatres, and the realisation that enough survived to provide the feel of a real structure. This 13 May, the Rose Theatre Trust have announced, will see the public unveiling of the projected plans for a museum to display the remains (if they are still there). The office building over the site, Rose Court, is nearing completion. Prince Charles has not yet pronounced upon its architectural merit as far as I know.... By the way, RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET, "Shakespeare's forgotten rock-and-roll masterpiece" continues at the Cambridge theatre, to the best of my knowledge. Stephen Miller, King's College London
